How the h#ll do you get RID of moles ,I know some of ya'll gotta to know,I work my butt of every weekendin my yard and cost is know ?,YESTERDAY MOURNING I FOUND 2 MOLE HILL'S RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY YARD.They gotta go today

I use the "out-o-sight" mole traps and they work once you learn how and where. Caught a huge one early this spring that was terrorizing the place, big ole male. Been after a few here lately as well, but smaller trails.

I have had good luck completely flooding any trails/mound that are at the base of a tree. They like to burrow and nest in the root system, so I try to drown the little ons if they are there. Adult mole can dig 90' a minute, so drowning them with a hose is next to impossible. A real good flooding rain helps since everything gets flooded at once.

My lab makes short work of them. I always know when she gets one she leaves it on the back porch.I tried all kinds of things to get rid of them in the past. The only thing I had any luck with is those traps that drive the three prongs in the ground. I never tried the out of sight mole trap.

Tractor Supply Mole TrapWe have used this type of trap with good luck. On the new ones you push it down just enough to keep is from springing back. If you push it all the way down it is not sensitive enough.

Hills? Mounds? Are you sure you have moles (insectivores) or do you have pocket gophers (rodents)?

Gophers leave mounds randomly across the yard. The dirt mounds are 12-24" across and 8-12" high. The mounds sorta resemble a connect-the-dots pattern in the lawn. Gophers eat roots mainly. They are pests for sure.

Moles construct a meandering shallow tunnel across the yard. The top of the tunnel is raised slightly above ground level. There are usually no mounds at all, although sometimes there will be a small hill. Moles eat insects and grubs. They are quite beneficial.

I found some little gas/smoke thingies that looked like dynamite sticks at the feed store. Stuffed a few in certain holes with nothing sticking out but the fuses. Lit 'em up and a few minutes started seeing smoke coming from other holes. As I spotted smoke I covered that hole too. Guess I got 'em all 'cause I haven't see any in a while. I think most of my problem was gophers......

Good Luck... Them are aggravating little critters!
